Hwangbo first debuted in 1999 as the rapper for the group Bros. She then joined Chakra alongside Eeni, Eun, and Jeong Ryeo-won in 2000. The group released 4 albums, with the last one (Tomato) being released in 2003. Although they contributed to soundtrack albums, the group eventually split up the following year.
Hwangbo then frequented various variety shows, including being a regular on SBS’s X-Man and Love Letter. She cultivated an image of being a tomboy, due to her strong mannerisms and her blunt speech. A solo album was rumoured to be released for some time; however, Hwangbo did not release an album until 2007 with Lady in Black. The album marked an image change, as the first single (“눈물도 미안해서”, “Even My Tears are Sorry”) was a ballad.
In mid-2008, she released a digital single, Gift for Him, which featured the song "뜨거워져" ("Get Hot"), a Tecktonik song. The remix features Koo Junyup of Clon; the song's dance was choreographed by him as well. She also released a song called "Mature" as part of the "Gift For Him" 2-track release.

To capitalize on the show’s popularity, she released a digital single, Gift for Him, which featured the song “뜨거워져” (“Get Hot”), a Tecktonik song. The remix features Koo Junyup of Clon; the song’s dance was choreographed by him as well. Due to scheduling conflicts, Kim Hyun Joong and Hwangbo made their official exit the show on December 14, 2008.
Having gained high popularity through their fictional marriage, they won MBC's Best Couple Award on December 28, 2008.
In addition to We Got Married, Hwangbo stars as one of the 6 women on Moohan Girls, an all-female version of Infinite Challenge, airing also on MBC. She was also featured in Olive's Channel new show "Living Beauty".
